Please show the New Testament scriptures where Jesus or His Apostles instructed us as to how we observe the Sabbath under the New Covenant. JLB
Sorry friend I have posted scripture that directly answers your question on more then one occassion. You have chosen to reject these scriptures. this is your decision I do not judge you. It is between you and God as these are God's WORD's not mine.
I am not interested in further discussion with you untill you agree to respond to my posts. You simply choose to ignore these posts and all the scriptures in them that disagree and refuse to adress them. So if we are not able to have a discussion. We will have to agree to dissagree.

The OLD Testament scriptures are the foundation of the NEW Testament. The NEW Testament is built on the Old Testament and together they are the Word of God which gives instruction to follow God. Everything in the NEW Testament builds on instruction already provided in the OLD Testament and is why it is written..
2 TIMOTHY 3:16 [16], ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTOEUSNESS.
and again...
MATTHEW 4:4 [4], Man does not live by bread alone but by EVERY WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
As shown in the previous posts God Commands us in the 4th Commandment (
Exodus 20:8-11) to REMEMBER the SEVENTH DAY of the week because he has set the SEVENTH DAY aside as a HOLY DAY where NO WORK is to be DONE on this day. The SEVENTH DAY of the week is to be set aside to REMEMBER and worship the GOD of CREATION. NO Bussiness, NO Shopping, NO buying or selling, NO uneccessary domestic work.
Building on the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT what did Jesus teach us further about the Sabbath?
1. Jesus taught that it is lawful to do GOOD on the Sabbath? (Matthew 12:1-12; 10-12; 24:20;
Mark 3:1-5;
Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5;
John 7:22-23; 9:14;
Mark 1:21;
Mark 6:2;
Luke 4:16; 31;
Luke 14:1; 23:56)
2. Jesus taught that God's Sabbath was made for mankind and not man for the Sabbath rebuking the tradtions of the Jew in regards to their traditions and interpretation around Sabbath keeping? (
Mark 2:27-28;
Matthew 12:8)
3. Jesus taught that he was the maker and creator of the Sabbath and the God of creation? (
Hebrews 1:2;
John 1:1-3; 14;
Ephesians 3:9;
Colossians 1:16-17;
Mark 2:27)
4. Jesus is our example who kept the Sabbath as well as all those who followed him (Matthew 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20;
Mark 3:1-5;
Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5;
John 7:22-23; 9:14;
Mark 1:21;
Mark 6:2;
Luke 4:16; 31;
Luke 14:1; 23:56;
John 2:6; Matthew 16:24; Acts 13:14; 13:27; 13:44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4; Rev 1:10)
5. Jesus taught that break God's Commandments and teach others to do so will not enter God's Kingdom? (Matthew 5:19)
6. Jesus taught that not a jot or tittle will pass from God's LAW until heaven and earth pass away? (
Matthew 5:18)
7. Jesus taught that on the two great commandments of LOVE to GOD and MAN hang ALL the LAW and the prophets (
Matthew 22:36-40)
8. Paul warns us that those who do NOT believe and follow GOD do not enter into God's Sabbath rest because of their SINS and UNBELIEF and that there is a KEEPING of the SABBATH to the people of God (
Hebrews 3 HEBREWS 4) *HEBREWS 4:9
So then, it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath.
9. Paul kept the Sabbath with both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 13:14-15; 42-44; Acts 16:13; Acts 17-1-2; Acts 18:4-5)
10. Jesus, Paul, James, John and Peter all ketp the Sabbath and taught there is 10 Commandments which includes the Sabbath and if you break anyone of God's Commandments you stand guilty before God of breaking all of them (
James 2:8-12; Romans 7:7; 3:20; 1 John 3:4).
Why would Jesus and the Apostles give us further instruction in relation to Sabbath keeping building on the OLD TESTAMENET scriptures if we no longer need to keep it? (Point 1, 2, 3, 6)
................
Now my friend your questions linked in this post have been answered with scripture. If you disagree it is ok but if you wish the conversation to continue please respond to this post with the scriptures in them that disagree with your teaching. If you cannot it only shows you are in error.
................
What it all comes down to is that SIN is the breaking of any of God's Commandments (
James 2:9-11;
Romans 7:7;
1 John 3:4). Those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.
................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (
Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (
James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (
Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (
Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
